Archive for September 2014

Welcome to fall! Can’t believe that September has passed by so quickly. The past couple of weeks have been quite rough dealing with the loss of my Nana Rose. My grandparents would have been married 60 years this past Friday September 26th. I miss her terribly.

On the 19th I went to see Little Shop of Horrors at the Amato Center. Alyssa Lederhos directed and chorepgraphed the show for her senior project. As with most RYC shows I was left impressed. Little Shop is in my list of top 10 favorite musicals. Favorite musical numbers included Suddenly Seymour, The Meek Shall Inherit and Mushnik and Son. Congrats to the cast and crew.

I am in the midst of a transition between choirs this year. I am still in the choir at the YMCA but plan to leave that once the year finishes. I finally joined Souhegan Valley Chorus and am so excited about being in the group! The theme this semester for YMCA Choir is Thankfulness and our line up includes Thank You For The Music from Mama Mia, Thankful by Josh Groban and the theme song from Golden Girls Thank You For Being A Friend. In SVC we are singing songs from holiday movies and the line up included Christmas Star from Home Alone 2, Welcome Christmas from How The Grinch Stole Christmas, Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas from Meet Me In St Louis and Hot Chocolate from Polar Express. I have been kept on my toes the past couple months between Choir rehearals, being trained at the Y to use the computer software that signs people up for classes, starting an internship at Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Nashua, doing PR for local theatre groups and helping my mom promote her new book Janine which is coming out in the spring. This year the PTA Play is CATS and I am still on the fence about auditioning because CATS is not one of my favorite shows. If I don’t audition I will probably work backstage or possibly co-produce. Might want to try something different this year. We’ll cross that bridge when we get to it though.

I had an audition last weekend for Kiss Me Kate with Stagecoach Productions. I didn’t get cast but I am hoping to either work backstage or help with publicity. My next audition is for the Holiday Show at the Amato Center and the end of next month. I am excited about that! 🙂

I promise that next time there won’t be so much of a gap between updates!

Fall 2014 Viewing Schedule
If anyone is going to see the same shows as me and would like to co-write a review with me for this blog or submit your own review please let me know. That would be super fun!! :0)Note: I am unable to go see Sound of Music at Manchester Community Theater Players but would like to try to go see one of the dress rehearsals. Would anyone in the cast be willing to give me a ride?

Today the audition did not go as well as I had hoped. For some reason I choked during the song but at least the monologue went well. Dance audition is on Thursday. Hope that will go well.
